Frankfurt, Germany— 8 November 2018

European DataWarehouse (ED) today announced it has established a UK Subsidiary, European DataWarehouse Ltd. The new subsidiary enforces the firm’s ongoing commitment to the UK market amid the uncertainty of Brexit.

Christian Thun, CEO of European DataWarehouse stated: “European DataWarehouse is determined to continue to serve and support UK customers after Brexit and we’re taking all necessary steps to ensure a smooth transition, including a physical presence if necessary.”

Steve Gandy, ED Board member and Managing Director at Santander Global Corporate Banking added: “As a leading issuer of asset backed securities in Europe and in the United Kingdom, Banco Santander welcomes European DataWarehouse’s ongoing commitment to the UK market.”

This release follows a London workshop hosted by European DataWarehouse to prepare UK clients for the forthcoming implementation of the Securitisation Regulation (EU) 2017/2402, which applies from 1 January 2019.  In addition, European DataWarehouse took earlier steps in supporting their UK clients by publishing a Gap Analysis between the Bank of England ABS Loan Level Data Templates and the draft templates proposed by ESMA on 22 August 2018.

European DataWarehouse plans to take further steps to support UK clients once details surrounding post-Brexit regulation of the ABS market are announced.
